Math Magic Tricks

Trick 1:

Step 1: Ask your friend to think of a number in mind.Step 2: Then ask your friend to double it.
(Eg: If a number is 2, then double the number will be 2 x 2 = 4)Step 3: Tell them to add 5 to that number.
4 + 5 = 9Step 4: Ask them to multiply 5 to the answer.
9 x 5 = 45Step 5: Then tell them to remember the answer, and choose another new number.Step 6: The new number may be 4.Step 7: Ask them to add the new number to the previous answer.
45 + 4 = 49Step 8: Now ask them to tell the answer.Step 9: Subtract 25 from the number said by your friend.
49 - 25 = 24Step 10:Then separate the two digit number and tell those one by one. ( 2 and 4)Step 11: Hence, the first number is 2 and second number is 4.

Trick 2:

Think of a number, any positive integer (but keep it small so you can do computations in your head).
Let we think the number as 3.Step 1: Square that positive number.
32 = 9Step 2: Add the result to your original number.
3 + 9 = 12Step 3: Divide by your original number.
12 / 3 = 4Step 4: Add, oh, how about 17.
4 + 17 = 21Step 5: Subtract your original number.
21 - 3 = 18Step 6: Divide by 6.
18 / 6 = 3
Hence, the number is 3!

Trick 3:

Step 1: Pick a number, any number . . . (although if you are playing with kids, it might be easier for them if you limit the number range to 1-10).
Let us consider a number 5.Step 2: Multiply the number by 2.
5 x 2 = 10Step 3: Add 10 to the result.
10 + 10 = 20Step 4: Divide the resultant number by 2.
20 / 2 = 10Step 5: Subtract the original number from (not by) the current number.
10 - 5 = 5
Hence, the number is 5.
